    Chapter 205 The residual fire still does not go out (4)

    When Jiang Jianming brought the child picked up by the roadside into his shabby house, he would have his breath left.

    This child has no gratitude at all. Ren Jiang Jianming was paralyzed in the corner with a fever, and he crawled all over the small dilapidated house, scavenging all the food and drink like a starving ghost.

    At the end, she looked at the boy who had walked behind her back for a day, and seriously thought about whether she would really eat him if this guy died.

    ...Many, many years later, when Lin Gehui was baking cookies for Jiang Jianming, she still sighed that someone was really unlucky.

    Even in the wild, a guy with no conscience like her belongs to the worst kind of rotten person.

    Losing his mother on the front foot, meeting the old friends of the White Dove Chiye Club on the back foot, but not acquainted with each other, giving up his life to save a child, and encountering a white-eyed wolf... If you change someone, you should scold the thief God.

    Thanks to Jiang Jianming's hard life, he didn't die. He was used to being sick, and both his body and his subconscious had their own set of coping procedures.

    On the second night of returning home, the teenager woke up from his coma, squinted weakly at the dirty little girl he picked up, and said with a vague smile, "Let me give you a name."

    The little girl occupied his quilt, showing only one head, and stared at him vigilantly with her intact eyes: "Why did you save the old lady?"

    The old lady...I don't know where she heard it. This kind of word came out of the mouth of a little girl of a few years old, not to mention the degree of disobedience.

    Jiang Jianming raised his upper body with difficulty, climbed a short distance with his elbows, and took out the pills from a broken jar in the corner.

    This action alone made him gasp, "...How long have you been lying there?"

    "Maybe three days, maybe four days."

    "Does anyone care about you?"

    "of course not."

    "So I take care of you."

    The little girl couldn't understand, so she widened her eyes: "Do you have shit in your head!?"

    "Children, don't scold people."

    "The old lady is happy!"

    "Proclaimed to use me."

    Jiang Jianming took the pills and swept his eyes around, "Water... have you drunk?"

    Little girl: "Huh."

    Jiang Jianming didn't say anything, and silently bit the medicine and swallowed it.

    He squatted down for a while, and heard footsteps in a drowsy moment.

    There was air leaking from all sides in the broken house, and the little girl walked in front of the boy. She looked down at her savior, showing her crystal bones unskillfully.

    "Say, is there anything else hidden?"

    The teenager closed his eyes and seemed to be too lazy to pay attention to her at all, or he might just have no strength, "It's all in the house..."

    The little girl bit her lip and took a step forward: "Then kill you."

    Jiang Jianming's voice was low, mixed with a vague sigh: "...I am a crippled human being and can't pose any threat to you. Even so, do you still want to kill me?"

    The little girl took another step forward.

    She still didn't understand why the strange boy would save her, why she was full of words she couldn't understand.

    She only knows that cutting grass is one of the important principles for surviving in the wild.

    Jiang Jianming finally opened his eyes and raised his arms quietly.

    I don't know when, the iron-colored gun was already in the palm of the boy's hand, and the muzzle was aimed at the person in front of him.

    "!"

    The little girl instantly turned pale. She recognized the metal pipe, which could kill her in an instant.

    why……

    This guy obviously has a gun, why didn't he take it out until now, let her take away the food and drink without retaliation! ?

    After a stalemate for five or six seconds, Jiang Jianming was the first to put down his gun. Immediately, the little girl pounced to the side like a rabbit, and ran away rolling and crawling.

    ...

    After two or three days, the little girl came again.

    No way, I'm hungry.

    Couldn't find anything to eat, she was already starving to the point of licking the mud. In the end, decided to gamble on luck, and then went to snatch the disabled human being who was easy to bully.

    Maybe he didn't shoot that day because he didn't have bullets in his gun?

    When the little girl came, Jiang Jianming was eating.

    Before she could show her crystal bones, the young man saw her, and indifferently broke half of the food in his hand and threw it out of the house.

    When the little girl showed a fierce look, she lay on the ground like a hungry tiger and ate the food, and looked up... The boy was holding the iron gun in his hand again.

    The little girl was cowardly again and ran away quickly.

    This happened several times over the next period of time.

    ——It has to be said that compared to his mother, Jiang Jianming is more composed and more determined.

    In addition, he has been wandering in the wild since he was a child, surviving in the gap between the lord and the local ruffian, and has already figured out his own way. In addition to supporting himself, he is barely enough to support another person.

    At first, the little girl thought she controlled a slave and could exploit it whenever she was hungry.

    It took more than ten days to figure out that something was wrong... She seemed to be raised.

    It's like a stray dog ​​or cat who goes to a fixed place for feeding at a fixed time.

    The opportunity to discover this horrifying truth was that one day the young man's face became unusually serious and asked her to take a bath, or at least wipe her body, it was too stinky.

    Afterwards, he said to her: "I thought of a name for you, a song of poetry. As for the surname... If you don't have a surname, give me the surname Jiang, or pick one you like."

    "???"

    The little girl's expression cracked, and she jumped into a rage: "Cripple, what do you think of my old lady!?"

    At that time, the teenager was sitting in the house, with a faint expression of weaving a basket with chopped bamboo strips, "Actually, the day before I picked you up, my mother died."

    "At that time, I had just cremated my mother, and suddenly I wanted to raise something, find something for myself and want to live... Are you my daughter, or my sister?"

    feed what...

    The little girl was in a mess: "Are you sick!? Is it really shit in your head!?"

    Jiang Jianming: "Don't scold people, claiming to use me."

    After speaking, the young man lowered his head and coughed softly. He was pale and thin, and he always seemed weak and harmless at this time.

    But the next second he pursed his lips and smiled, and said faintly: "So, you don't have a surname, do you, then..."

    The little girl is horrified. She definitely doesn't want to be the sister of a sick ghost, let alone a daughter, "I have it! The old lady has a surname!! It's called..."

    She glanced at the bamboo stick in Jiang Jianming's hand, and with a flash of inspiration, she said, "Uh...Lin, yes, the old lady's name is Lin!"

    Jiang Jianming: "Okay, Lin Ge."

    little girl:"?"

    "My mother-in-law didn't agree to call this name!!"

    Jiang Jianming ignored Xiao Linge's furious protest, and he said thoughtfully, "Your eyes..."

    Lin Ge's left eye rotted more and more seriously. The poor people in the wild area have no knowledge, but he knows that if he doesn't remove his eyeballs, he will be powerless to infect his brain.

    The next day, Jiang Jianming put on the dirty cloak and went to the territory of the "one-eyed leopard", and didn't come back until late at night.

    The next day, Xiao Linge came again.

    She actually cleaned herself up a bit, at least she could tell that she was a girl, not a piece of junk.

    Jiang Jianming was sitting in the room and beckoned to her, Lin Ge jumped in, arrogantly on his hips and shouted that the old lady was hungry.

    Only then did she see clearly that there were some expensive and sophisticated things scattered around Jiang Jianming. Lin Ge didn't recognize what it was, she only saw a piece of meat bone in today's pot - meat!

    The little girl swallowed her saliva, sat down with her buttocks, and started chewing with both hands.

    After only two minutes of chewing, she began to faint before her eyes, and fell to the ground with a thud.

    "you you……"

    Jiang Jianming watched her fall without changing his face, then stood up, slowly tied the girl's hands and feet with special restraint belts, and gave her a shot that could not release the crystal bone for a short time.

    "You...what are you doing..."

    Lin Ge's whole body was sore, she was completely frightened, she was done thinking about it, she was too careless, how could she have completely lost her defense?

    This crippled human must be killing her, where did he get these injections...

    Jiang Jianliang took out the scalpel: "Take off your eyeballs."

    Lin Ge was so frightened that tears burst into his eyes, and he screamed: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on it!!!

    Jiang Jianming: "Do you know what's wrong? Will you still be fierce in the future?"

    The tip of the knife hung above his eyes with a cold light, and Lin Ge howled even more, "I know I'm wrong, I don't dare!! You forgive me—"

    The tip of the knife was an inch closer.

    "Brother! Dad!! I don't dare! I will listen to you in the future, I will be your sister and daughter for the rest of my life, take care of you, serve you, and give you your old age and death - woo ah ah ah!! !"

    "Are you still swearing?"

    "Don't talk, don't talk-"

    "Proclaimed to use me."

    "Didn't I already use it!?"

    "You can't kill anyone casually."

    "I haven't killed anyone, not really!!"

    Suddenly, the wrist was cold and painful, and the anesthetic was injected into the vein.

    In a blink of an eye, the crying little girl slowly rolled her eyes, and finally closed her eyes and fell asleep with her head tilted.

    ...

    When Lin Ge woke up again, her diseased left eye had been removed.

    The girl didn't know that the boy was trying to save her life, but she found that she was not dead, and the only thing missing was her eyes that could not be seen before, and she was relieved like the rest of her life.

    Jiang Jianming was packing her things. Seeing her awake, she didn't look back and said, "Are you up? If you don't want to die, take this burden by your side and come with me right away."

    His voice was colder than usual, and his face was more frightening than when he asked her to take a bath that day.

    Lin Ge had never seen him like this before, and he forgot to settle the bill. He covered the bandages on his eyes and said dumbly, "What are you doing?

    Jiang Jianming turned his head back, his brows gleamed like a knife, "I don't have time to explain, let's go first."

    That day, Lin Ge was taken away from the broken house by Jiang Jianming in a confused manner.

    They climbed a hillside at night and saw the fire below, the lords fighting on a large scale.

    The sound of the bombing made Lin Ge's legs go weak. The little girl grabbed Jiang Jianming's waist, her messy little head digging hard into his cloak, and she couldn't help but look out after a while.

    "It seems that the one-eyed leopard and the black iron are fighting, who will win."

    "One-eyed leopard."

    "how do you know?"

    "The battle plan is mine."

    Lin Ge jumped three feet in shock: "!!?"

    Jiang Jianming: "I said there is a way to help them annex the territory of Hei Tie, and I want to exchange surgical equipment and some medicines with them. After listening to my plan, they probably thought it was a good idea, so they gave it to me. ."

    The young man's face reflected the alternating light and dark fire below. Jiang Jianming's tone was so calm that Lin Ge didn't know what to do.

    She held it for a while before asking, "Really...really?"

    "Then you are so powerful, didn't you become the hero of the one-eyed leopard, what are we running for?"

    Jiang Jianming shook his head: "These lords are not good things, I don't want to join them."

    "But if I refuse to join the group, the One-Eyed Leopard will definitely worry that I will be attracted by other lords in the future and become a threat to them... Since I can't get it, they will choose to kill me."

    Lin Ge opened his eyes wide and held his breath nervously.

    The next moment, her head was rubbed twice.

    The boy turned around, and the night wind blew the corner of his cloak illuminated by the firelight.

    "While they're at war, let's get out of here and live somewhere else."

    "No, the lord killed you, what does it have to do with the old lady!?"

    By the time Lin Ge reacted, it was about four days later.

    The teenager took the little girl and straddled most of the Z2 wild area, migrating from the northeast corner to the southwest corner.

    Taking this migration as an opportunity, Jiang Jianming changed his name for himself.

    The people of the White Dove Red Leaf Society knew his original name, and if someone defected, then the empire would also know that Helga's child, named Jiang Jianming, was a crippled human being.

    He told Lin Ge that he would call himself Dawn Aslan in the future.

    A somewhat strange name, Lin Ge thought to himself. There are very few people in the wild area who have serious names. They are all "Lao Wangtou", "Blind Dog", "Liu San'er" and so on.

    However, Aslan's physique is really poor, the long journey exhausted his physical strength, and then he fell ill with a fever.

    The night was long, and the wind was piercing. Lin Ge lit the fire and sat beside him with his knees tucked, staring at the sleepy face of the boy. She couldn't figure out how such a fragile disabled human could survive in the wild until now.

    If now, she snatch away the water with the medicine and run away, this guy will probably really die.

    The boy suddenly frowned, gasping for breath and moaning.

    Lin Ge was shocked: "What's wrong with you!?"

    She hurriedly lifted the boy's upper body, made him lean on her shoulders, and rubbed his chest comfortably.

    Jiang Jianming opened his eyes in a daze, his vision took a long time to focus, he looked at her, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

    Forget it...Lin Ge thought dully, this crippled human being is quite clever, and his methods are also great. And she has crystal bones. If the two become a cooperative relationship, they will definitely be able to get a lot of food, and they will never have to go hungry again.

    Well, it's just cooperation... cooperation only!

    Not adopted!

    The boy lived with the little girl.

    After Jiang Jianming's condition improved, the two built a hut together.

    Just as Lin Ge imagined, their "cooperation" went smoothly. At the end of the first month, they even hit wild animals and ate meat.

    This is not picked up from the garbage, the meat eaten by the nobles or the expired and stinky meat! It's fresh meat!

    Lin Ge cheered.

    Like a big sister, she held out her chest and patted Jiang Jianming: "The future will be better and better. We have so much food, as long as you have a full stomach every day, you will not get sick again."

    "In a few years, we can go to the city to see. You are so literate, if you are lucky, maybe some people in the city will accept us as servants."

    "Dawn, you have to thank the old man well, uh... thank me."

    Jiang Jianming looked at Lin Ge with a smile.

    I thought to myself, this might not be good.

    The experience of losing his mother has made him know what an ethereal dream is to long for a better life. He didn't want to give Lin Ge unrealistic fantasies.

    This girl has also been used to a miserable life in the wild since she was a child, so there should be no problem accepting the reality.

    "I have something to tell you," he said.

    "What?" The little girl turned around, a bright smile on her face, and the only remaining eye looked like a star.

    ... People should live like this, Jiang Jianming thought blankly.

    You should have a bright heart and yearn for the future; even if you live in poverty, you should firmly believe that hard work will pay off. That's how to live, to live like a person.

    "I am a chronic crystal disorder patient."

    The young man narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, and whispered softly, "Maybe I won't be able to accompany you for three or five years. You have to make your own plans earlier."

    "..."

    The smile on the little girl's face was still hanging in the pear vortex.

    The stars in my eyes are fading.

    "What, what?"

    Jiang Jianming patted her head: "It's nothing, it's still early. Just to tell you in advance, don't get close when I'm sick, don't get infected by me."

    "When I die, you're going to see the dawn for me and tell me what a 'good day' is like... okay?"
